One thing I have always loved about Walt Disney
World is how deeply rooted they are in the past. While most
companies brush off the things which helped them get to where they
are, Disney takes the time to not only acknowledge it, but show it
off at times.

Over at Disney's Wilderness Lodge one of the
largest, and rarely seen, references to a Disney character can be
found. Back in 1950, Disney introduced a new character named
Humphrey the Bear. Humphrey would go on to star in 11 short cartoons
(including my personal favorite In the Bag) and he became a pretty
big deal. Due to Humphrey being a bear, he became a mascot of sorts
for Disney's Wilderness Lodge and the bear was placed on totem
poles, signs, and more.

That's not what we are talking about today though.
During the planning stages for the resort, someone came up with a
great way to immortalize Humphrey. No, it's not the totem pole, but
the actual architecture of the resort! If you head out towards the
geyser near Bay Lake and take a look at the resort, you would see
the following image:

If you use your imagination, you will notice that
the architecture of the building's main lobby is meant to represent
a bear. The two windows at the top are Humphrey's eyes, while the
window slightly below them and in the center represent his snout. In
addition to this, the two wings of the building coming towards you
on either side represent his paws! So there you have it! The only
Disney character to have the entire architecture of a resort modeled
after them! Not bad for a bear that was only going to be in one
cartoon!
